Guarding John Taylor's Tomb.

SALT LAKE, August 10.-For some unac-
countable reason a guard has been kept
over John Taylor's grave, since buried,
night and day. Guards stay on the ground
and never leave it for anything. Gentiles
in the vicinity of the cemetery have tried
to ascertain the cause Of this singular ac-
ton, but have received no satisfactory
answer except that the salrts feel afraid
the Gentiles would steal the body. What
they think the Gentiles would want with
the body of the defunet prophet is a mys-
terry. 1t is stated that something has been
sid about keeping the Gentiles from
.'cutting off the head of the president
The guards are strictly non-commital and
will not talk on the subject to any one.

THE woGDvILLE TUNNEL

is in charge of Winters & Donahue. They
are now working so men, on two shifts,
day and night. on both ends of the tunnel.
Their present rate of progress is about
three feet per day, counting from both
ends of the tunnel. The south end of the
tunnel is about one hundred and seventy
five feet, and the north end sixty-fve. The
formation is pretty hard and progress nee
essarily slow. The length of this tunnel
is !, 200 feet and it will be rushed through
when grading work has ceased so rs not
to interfere with the completion Of the
road in May next. The grading from
Woodville to the tunnel is i'll charge Oft h
same firm and is almost completed. What
remains to be done on it will be finished
up this month. In the Park the work is
going on at a lively rate and the firm will
finish their contract with the exception of
the tunnel before snow flies. Some slight
difficulty is being experienced in getting
teamsters enough to carry on the work,
as the firm wishes to. Men are reported
plenty for the first time since this work
began and enough cams can be had. but
Transfers are scarce. The Montana Cen
tral has secured good and efficient con-
tractors in the vicinity of Butte and their
favorable progress is largely attributable
To that fact.

Bile progress on the grading work just
east of town. The approaches to the
small tunnel, between Yankee Doodle
and Dixie gulches are now about COM

about 255 feet in length, and can easily be
finished by the first of December. The
grading for the first seven miles east Of
Butte is also in charge of Mclean &Janes
employing a force of nearly 200 men at
present, and these will be amply suffice to
fill their contract on time. They have a

MAKE HAY.

While IL is at present, and will he
for n number of years, impossible to
reduce a sufficient area of land In the
range country TO a condition of hay
productiveness, something can and
should be done now in this direction.
There are many narrow valleys upon
which water can be put. and some
wide mesa lands that eau readily be
irrigated. These should be Brought
under ditch and cultivation rapidly As
possible and the hay product utilized
in feeding the cows and yearlings Of
the herds. Because of the fact that
the ranges are greatly overstocked the
cows that suckle calves in summer do
not fatten like they did in former
years when they had sll they could
eat aud that near by the water courses.
The condition Necessary to endurance
of the cold and storms of northern
win tiers is tallow laid on in rolls about
the kidneys am next the skin. With
out this the death rate must run high.
Hence 1t is the duty of every oW Ter Of
range cattle h. make up for this lack
of tallow by administering food to his
thin she cattle and the yearlings. The
steers can rustic for themselves and
pull through any ordinary winter.
Especially is this true If the calves
have been hay fed the first winter after
weaving and kept growing all through
the season. Then they enter upon
the second winter with almost an
extra years growth and strength,
ready TO stand hardships. 1t will be
q mistake to commence feeding the
entire herd in the autumn unless " u
have sufficient hay TO carry lher"
through until the new grass is plenti-
full, for the reason that after feeding u
few days cattle expect aud wait Tor

winters loss will be reduced to "A sma |
per cent. and an extra quality of steers
be raised for beef that viii much more
than compensate for the extra cost and
labor required. Duty To the dumb
brutes demands at our hands an effort
TO save life and rs far as possible over
come the discomfOrts incident to the
severe exposures. When we shall have
brought under control all of our rich
valleys and made them contributary
to the support of the herds we will
have added something in the way Of
increased security that will give pres
tige and credit to the business, All
cattle men can afford to do something
in this way and by degrees raise the
standard of quality aud increase their
profits. Make all the hay you can

Inner Rnrmah's Ruby Mines.

These mines are situated seventy miles
from Mandalay. Within a valley about
100 miles square and surrounded by nine
mountains lie the gems, and il is upon

camped. The mines have hitherto only
yielded from go. 900 to e15.OO0 a wear,
but il is believed that English engineers
could reap a better harvest. The sap
phires sometimes range from nine TO
thirteen carats. and are usually perfect.
Thecbaw claimed a right of selection
among all thu larger stones, but the mer-
chants took good care that he seldom OBJ
